Source) Tables 3-2 and 3-3 were created based on discussions with the personnel of the MOH and the target medical facilities. 2-2 Basic Design of the Requested Japanese Assistance 2-2-1 Design Policy Prior to formulating the basic design of the Project, the following policies were set up respecting surrounding conditions and related environment. (1) Basic Policy Basic guidelines for the proposed Japanese Assistance Project are as follows: ・ The Project should be in line with the national development plan of the Surinamese Government for the health/medical sector. ・ The Project should be manageable within the framework of the Grant Aid system of Japan. ・ The Project should not duplicate the activities of other donor countries and organizations. ・ The target facilities must be engaged in medical activities that are contributing to mother-and-child health. ・ The medical equipment to be procured by this Project should be operated and maintained within the resources of the Surinamese side. (2) Policy on Staff Training Program The Surinamese government is planning the staff-training program. Those are training sessions for general practitioners in the five (5) clinics in the areas of diagnostic and curative in delivery, pediatrics and laboratory services. Furthermore, Academic Hospital Paramaribo will train - 5 - operation of ultrasound diagnostic equipment and laparoscope with diagnostic methods for ‘sLands Hospital and Nickerie Regional Hospital concerned, managed by the MOH. The selection of equipment shall be prepared with the consideration of above-mentioned activities by the Surinamese side. (3) Policy on Facility Infrastructure The Surinamese government will undertake the renovation work of the target clinics. We, as a consultant, will provide guidance and specific technical specifications so that they will be able to renovate the facilities in the way most suitable for installing the equipment. Although the electric power supply in Suriname is relatively stable, installing automatic voltage regulators (AVR) should be considered for the equipment used in operating rooms and neonatal care, as the accuracy of such equipment can be affected by voltage fluctuation. (4) Policy on Using Local Procurement and Local Representatives In Paramaribo, there are six dealerships of medical equipment manufacturers, of which three, namely, N.V. Elgawa, Harsons Meditech Inc., and Triangle, can provide after-sales maintenance services. Our hearing survey in Miami, U.S.A. revealed that American manufacturers were not keen on selling their products in Suriname because of the small market size and the absence of nonstop flight between the two countries. Home appliance shop owners in Paramaribo confirmed the above statement by saying that Dutch products had advantage over American products in terms of availability of technical follow-up services. Only a few American companies have agents in Miami to provide maintenance services for Surinamese customers, whereas the vast majority have set up dealerships in Caracas, Venezuela, to and from which traveling by air is much more convenient. As far as we have researched, five agents of Japanese medical equipment makers are situated in Venezuela (by end of June 2003). The existing equipment of the target facilities of this Project mostly consists of Dutch, German, Swedish, French, American, Japanese, and other third-country products. Regular beds, wooden cupboards to store medical instruments, and other such simple items, but no medical equipment, are manufactured locally. In view of the above, the equipment for this Project will be chosen preferentially from Japanese, European, or American products, for which after-sales services will be available from agents in Suriname or Venezuela. (5) Policy on the Maintenance / Management Capability of the Implementing Agency In order to achieve the goals of the Project, it is necessary to have a system that enables the equipment procured by the Project to be utilized effectively. Due to differences in the functions of equipment, some equipment is used daily for diagnosis and treatment while others are used only in - 6 - emergencies. However, all these types of equipment must be maintained to function properly all the time regardless of the frequency of usage. As for the maintenance of the new equipment to be procured under this Project, the target health facilities plan to follow the same procedures as those for their existing equipment. In other words, the hospitals will contract outside local representatives of the equipment manufacturers, and RGD will take care for the maintenance of the equipment of the clinics. At the same time, establishing a system to reinforce daily preventive maintenance, such as cleaning before and after using equipment, is a very effective approach. We would suggest the following methods for the maintenance of the equipment. 1) Maintenance work by each health facility Standard maintenance work required for the equipment procured by the Project should be provided by each health facility in accordance with the procedures described in the operation and maintenance manuals, which come with the equipment. 2) Repair work by the GMTD and by local representatives of manufacturers Ideally, the Project should choose preferentially the types of equipment that could be maintained easily on a daily basis at each target facility. However, more and more medical devices today are electronically controlled and, if broken down, they cannot be repaired easily, as it is difficult to identify the faulty parts within the complicated mechanisms. Examples of such items are patient monitor, infant ventilator, ultrasound diagnostic equipment and X-ray diagnostic equipment. These items need to be serviced by GMTD or the local agents of the equipment manufacturers. 3) Maintenance system of each facility A checkup before and after each use is essential for keeping the performance of any type of equipment at the optimum level. It is ideal that the members of medical staff who use the equipment conduct such daily checkups. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the medical staff with training programs enabling them to perform daily maintenance procedures for equipment.It would be ideal that the supplier of the equipment could provide such daily maintenance training in addition to ordinary operational training at the time of the installation

  • Suriname 2019 Crime and Safety Report
    Suriname 2019 Crime and Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Paramaribo. The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Suriname at Level 1, indicating travelers should exercise normal precautions. Overall Crime and Safety Situation The U.S. Embassy in Paramaribo does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The American Citizens’ Services unit (ACS) cannot recommend a particular individual or location, and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. Review OSAC’s Suriname-specific page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Crime Threats There is considerable risk from crime in Paramaribo. Government statistics indicate a modest increase in personal and property crime in 2018, following an overall reduction in 2017 and elevated rates in 2016. Street crimes, including theft of backpacks, purses, jewelry (particularly necklaces), and cell phones are regular occurrences. Reports indicate criminals often use weapons against victims in the commission of street crimes, particularly when victims resist. Perpetrators often escape by moped or motorbike, and evade police capture. Armed robbers targeted several expatriates walking in close proximity to popular hotels and near Combe Market. No areas of Paramaribo are completely safe. Criminals move without restriction into and out of neighborhoods where expatriates live, often using scooters or motorcycles to evade police. In one reported case in 2018, a burglar tied up a guard in an affluent neighborhood, while in another instance two burglars violently assaulted and robbed a guard attempting to deny gate access.

  • The Changing Chinese Linguistic Situation in Suriname Under New Migration
    CHAPTER 9 They Might as Well Be Speaking Chinese: The Changing Chinese Linguistic Situation in Suriname under New Migration Paul B. Tjon Sie Fat 1 Introduction This chapter presents one of the most obvious local examples, to the Surinamese public at least, of the link between mobility, language, and iden- tity: current Chinese migration. These ‘New Chinese’ migrants since the 1990s were linguistically quite different from the established Hakkas in Suriname, and were the cause of an upsurge in anti-Chinese sentiments. It will be argued that the aforementioned link is constructed in the Surinamese imagination in the context of ethnic and civic discourse to reproduce the image of a mono- lithic, undifferentiated, Chinese migrant group, despite increasing variety and change within the Chinese segment of Surinamese society. The point will also be made that the Chinese stereotype affects the way demographic and linguis- tic data relating to Chinese are produced by government institutions. We will present a historic overview of the Chinese presence in Suriname, a brief eth- nographic description of Chinese migrant cohorts, followed by some data on written Chinese in Suriname. Finally we present the available data on Chinese ethnicity and language from the Surinamese General Bureau of Statistics (abs). An ethnic Chinese segment has existed in Surinamese society since the middle of the nineteenth century, as a consequence of Dutch colonial policy to import Asian indentured labour as a substitute for African slave labour. Indentured labourers from Hakka villages in the Fuitungon Region (particu- larly Dongguan and Baoan)1 in the second half of the nineteenth century made way for entrepreneurial chain migrants up to the first half of the twentieth 1 The established Hakka migrants in Suriname refer to the area as fui5tung1on1 (惠東安), which is an anagram of the Kejia pronunciation of the names of the three counties where the ‘Old Chinese’ migrant cohorts in Suriname come from: fui5jong2 (惠陽 Putonghua: huìyáng), tung1kon1 (東莞 pth: dōngguǎn), and pau3on1 (寳安 pth: bǎoān).
